The 2011 Heritage Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was full of cinnamon and clove and very spicy. Brian called it dark, velvety chocolate, a smooth, sexy wine. Cindy loved the color and found caramel, deep purple plum, cinnamon, chocolate, cloves and apple pie. Robb said it was excellent. It got several perfect five-star scores and most thought it was a steal.

Our last wine of the night was the 2010 Napa Valley Cattle Company Cabernet Sauvignon, also from Pat Paulsen Vineyards. This one got raves from the group, too, along with a handful of perfect five star scores. Al loved the nose and inky red color and called it the best wine of the evening. Ken said “smooth, smooth, smooth, a fabulous Cab.” Chris thought it was perfectly balanced. It sells for $49.
